VINELAND — Students attending Cumberland County College (CCC) will see a $5-per-credit increase in tuition starting July of this year, as well as a new $5 fee for obtaining transcripts.

The CCC Board of Trustees on Thursday voted unanimously to raise the price of tuition for in-county students to $110 per credit, and the tuition for out-of-county students to $120 per credit.

“While we are always reluctant to raise tuition and fee rates, this enables us to continue providing a quality college education at a reasonable cost,” said CCC President Thomas Isekenegbe. “Our goal is for everyone to have the opportunity to attend and succeed in college.”

In all, in-county students will end up paying $139 per credit when taking into account various fees including a $19-per-credit “comprehensive fee” and a $10-per-credit technology fee.

Both fees were in place last year and remain unchanged by the tuition increase approved by the board of trustees Thursday.

Increased fees include the application fee for first time students — raised from $25 to $30 — and the fee for taking online, telecourse or “hybrid” courses — once $10 per credit, now $25 per course.

In addition, there will be a new $5 fee for obtaining a college transcript.

Graduating seniors will receive one transcript free of cost.

According to CCC officials, more than 60 percent of the student body there benefits from some form of financial assistance.

“Tuition and fees at CCC will still fall within the amounts covered by Pell grants,” read a statement regarding tuition released by the college Thursday. “There are also opportunities for high school students to earn free CCC tuition through School Counts, NJ STARS and other scholarships and work-study programs available for students.”

Students who work for an employer in Cumberland County pay in-county the tuition rate. Tuition for courses that are part of CCC’s weekend program also fall under the in-county rate.

In 2007, tuition for in-county students had been $84 per credit, with $27 in fees.
